Trump just tweeted that Iran made a big mistake.

I would presume the US military is going to respond. The US cannot let its enemy do what can only be described as an act of war and us not respond. If we do nothing, these types of attacks will continue and will possibly escalate.

Respond with missles and air strikes. No boots on the ground

The problem with this logic is that Iran is not ISIS, Afghanistan, or Iraq. They have advanced mobile weapons systems which they are adept at hiding. In order to secure the Hormuz Strait as a safe shipping lane, this NECESSITATES boots on the ground to acheive the task. Any air strikes will have limited and temporary effectiveness towards this goal.

We thought Iraqs army was going to do more too look what happened to it. I think Iran is a paper tiger

Are Russia and China paper tigers? They will get involved if there is an invasion.
Russia is too broke to be a major war. China is fed by the U.S. dollar neither will get involved.. They might bitch a littlle but not a shot fired.

Specifically?

how many instances you need? Do you remember the hostages back in the 80's held for over a year? How about Irans wanting to destroy Israel and the U.S. need more?

It's still close enough to be considered spying. I doubt it was stationarily hovering either...
Iran has been long since a scourge on the world the sand fleas should be dealt with.

Well, one thing that I can say about the Beginners and Help section. It seems a lot more palatable to read than it was the last time I checked it. The last time I checked it is when people were demoted to newbie because they didn't have even 1 merit. It was filled with people basically begging for merit. I'm not certain if the reason it is actually worth reading now is because the mod(s) for that job have done a good job keeping it clean or if I just picked a wrong time to start reading it in the past.

Again...newbie or not a valid question was asked and deleted. This not a mistake it's an incompetent Mod.

International waters are 50 miles out. They're under Iranian jurisdiction and attempting to spy on them. The US were the first to declare war by going into their airspace...

you're wrong 12 miles is the lands jurisdiction The drone crashed 20 miles out.  The straight of Hormuz is only 24 miles wide..
106  Other / Meta / Re: I can't find my thread on: June 20, 2019, 10:04:14 PM
Well, that sucks. One mod moves it from beginners and help to mining and then the next dev deletes the topic. Is that anyway to treat a newbie asking a legitimate question and getting legitimate answers.  Huh

Mods are humans aswell, they can make a bad decition, or we may not agree with the one they made. But if you believe there has been some kind of error, when asked nicely, you can get an answer as to why they have taken that decition.

As an example, just today I was talking to our local mod (franckuestein) about whether a thread about Poloniex recently stealing 12/6% of their BTC lendors to cover trading losses should go on the Altcoin services or Bitcoin services (I'm not sure we have yet reached any conclusion on the matter as of yet).

But what I mean is that when in doubt, ask nicely, and you will get the answers you are looking for
If a Mod is too stupid to see a newbie asking a valid question then deletes it they shouldnt be a Mod.  have mercy on a newbie......what a way to say welcome.

No way to treat a newbie with valid questions.

Perhaps the drone was bait to justify a war?

Maybe but maybe they just try to keep an eye on Iran. Not sure it will be a casus belli, Trump declared he would wage war if American people are hurt, a drone is unmanned so it doesn't fit.

Maybe it was just classical spying.

Surely they would use a satellite for something like that, or just put a drone further back. The US navy should have a zoom function surely?



It'll probably get the response that Turkey got from Russia when they invaded their airspace and shot them down (I don't think much happened to Turkey and Russia should've expected that) ...


The defense department released video of the downing it was over the ocean not over Iran. I think Trump needs to hit them hard.

I don't understand the idea of going into a war from one or two incidents especially since America have been aggrovating things themselves. If trump hadn't decided to fight a trade battle with the rest of the world we wouldn't be in as much mess now...

Iran declared war shooting down a U.S. plane 20 miles out from their shore

If you sent them an email then you will have to probably wait for a few days to get a reply from the team. They will send you an email with further instructions on how to recover your account.
I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you

I don't know that it would help you at all, but neither of us publicly posted anything about our trade, it was all done through PM. Shoot me a PM with what we traded in as much detail as you can, and I'd be happy to try to help you verify your ownership.

PM now TY


I can at least confirm that otrkid1970 knew details of a trade that happened between otrkid70 and myself over five years ago with details that are not available to the public and that would be very unlikely be deduced with what little public information is available.

I'm not sure what its worth, but hopefully it'll contribute towards you gathering enough evidence to make a convincing case.

TY salty so much!
